Not too many contenders in this week’s line-up for the ‘Star of the Weekend’ award. Those that made the shortlist were more than deserving to make it on any other week with the impact they had in their respective matches.
Picking the outright brightest star is never easy, and sometimes blinding. There were many bright spots over the weekend, but these are the men that were able to make our list.
The final shortlist for #SOTW included…
James Rodriguez (Bayern Munich vs RB Leipzig) – German Bundesliga
Gonzalo Higuain (AC Milan vs Juventus) – Italian Serie A
Lionel Messi ( Athletic Club vs Barcelona) – Spanish La Liga
Wilfried Zaha ( Crystal Palace vs West Ham United) – English Premier League
But the SOTW will have to go to
Anthony Martial
(Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur) – English Premier League
For the important goal that separated Manchester United from Tottenham Hotspur
